She also showed good effects from what I take to be a recent face lift. (There's a tell tale look to the eyes, but it was a really good job IMO.) Besides that she was beautifully coiffed, groomed and dressed very well to frame her own look. And yet she looked tired and unhappy.
At first I thought maybe she was getting fed up with Snake, but she made clear that wasn't it when she tossed in that comment about "I don't know what you guys even mean when you talk about performance. Well, I know what HE means." with reference to Snake who loved the remark and preened over it.
She and Snake are VERY good friends with Timmy. Now the rest of this is a big guess. What if she just now found out that Timmy lied in Plame game and submitted a false affidavit...
IIRC she worked in Cheney's office and so would have known Libby. She certainly knows what he didn't do. But how would any of us react if one of our very top friends turned out to be a completely dishonest liar and personal destroyer. Especially as it would be harmful career wise and family wise to confront him. Just a thought.
Mary was very much involved and is still involved in the LIbby trial/appeal. I have donated money to him for his defense, and have received letters from Mary regarding this as well as their chair of his defense fund. I’m certain she knows full well what Fat Dim did regarding filing of a false affidavit. Its very interesting, that the fact that he did so, has been pretty much ignored expect on blogs and here.
Living the dual existence that Mary Matalin lives would wear anyone out.
Plus she looks at the alien every morning at breakfast. Most of us would just go back to bed and pull the covers up.
